Hooper was getting ready for his brother’s wedding when the guests began arriving. He had no idea after meeting Mallie things would change in his life. He was certain no one would ever want him, especially since his wife left him even when he was healthy. She did not even wish to be around their daughter. Then Mallie enters his life, a woman who loves the cowboy life and is a cancer survivor. She is bubbling inside when she meets Hooper and very glad she is able to attend the wedding. Mallie and Ella even make a connection. Has Hooper met the love of his life who can share the best of days with him and Ella, or is this just a dream?

I have to admit Sanctuary was a spellbinding story. It captivated this reader completely. Just when I thought it could not get any better, Ms. Hanson throws in a curve with the ex-wife. This remarkable read was extremely hard to put down. The refreshing characters of Mallie and Hooper really connect with the reader. They indeed are unforgettable, as well as the secondary players in this marvelous story. It felt like being surrounded by a huge loving family. This extraordinary read is one that I truly recommend to everyone. Tanya Hanson gives the reader promise in her characters.
